This 90-minute advanced financial statement analysis webinar is built for commercial lenders and credit administrators. It reviews the four financial statements, the income statement, statement of retained earnings, balance sheet and statement of cash flows, and then applies a five-step analysis model: liquidity, activity, leverage, operating performance and cash flow.
Along the way you'll cover revenue and expense recognition, FIFO, LIFO and average inventory costing, repairs versus improvements, depreciation methods, amortization and depletion, receivables and payables assessment, intangible assets, leases and the equity section.
The session also explains levels of financial statements, from company-prepared to audited, audit opinion types, the Z-score bankruptcy predictor and sustainable growth models, with case studies to show correct interpretation.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Reading financial statements correctly is central to sound credit decisions, and surface ratios can hide a company's true cash position and profitability. This session shows a structured approach to getting the real picture.
It suits commercial lenders, credit analysts, relationship managers, controllers, compliance and risk officers, business owners and executives.
